These are the top 10 liquors Pennsylvania residents are ordering during the COVID-19 crisis

Fine Wine & Good Spirits took 4,300 orders in first five days after online sales reopened

Pennsylvania's Fine Wine & Good Spirits online shop is one of the few places residents can get liquor and wine during the coronavirus pandemic. The PLCB is hoping to expand fulfillment capacity while physical stores remain closed.

Pennsylvania residents have found themselves in a bind when it comes to purchasing alcohol during the coronavirus pandemic, which has shut down most physical stores that sell liquor, wine and beer.

On April 1, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board opened up its online store for limited sales across the state. As most eager shoppers found out, the website is carefully controlled and only permits a certain number of visitors and orders per day.

"Access continues to be randomized to avoid overwhelming the site with high traffic, prevent order abuse, and prolong access throughout the day, so that order availability isn’t exhausted in seconds or minutes each day," the PLCB said in a statement.

The extraordinary circumstance that has forced Fine Wine & Good Spirits to move sales online during this period could end up having a major impact on how Pennsylvanians buy liquor and wine in the future.

In all of fiscal year 2018-19, the online store generated about 39,000 orders, totaling approximately $5 million in sales. In just five days — with an imposed limit on customers — the site recorded 4,300 orders.

"We are evaluating fulfillment capacity on a daily basis to optimize the number of orders we can accept each day, and the number of orders accepted each day will vary until we can better understand demand and fulfillment capacity," the PLCB said in a statement. "To date, we have been able to increase order capacity, and we expect that we will continue to do so."
